Purpose: To investigate the gliding resistance dynamics between the supraspinatus (SSP) tendon and the coracoacromial arch, both before and after subacromial decompression (anterolateral acromioplasty) and acromion resection (acromionectomy). Methods: Using 4 fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders, acromi...
